Dynasty trades

Couple dynasty trade proposals came into my inbox, wonder what you guys think.

Deal 1: 5x5 h2h, no salaries, 16 teams, deep major league rosters.  My team finished last in almost every offensive category overall, but I have good pitching and a good minor league system.  Only one SS slot, but I have Hanley (my only true stud) w/ Starlin Castro riding the bench.  I have glaring holes on the corner infield.  Another manager offered me:

Mark Reynolds; JA Happ; Dayan Viciedo; and the 10th pick in the FYPD pick (which includes last year's draft class, plus a lot of other guys who went undrafted last year like Belt, so I would get a top 100ish prospect out of it, think Castellanos or Cole) for Hanley.

I didn't think I was getting enough value for my only good offensive player, so my counter was Reynolds, Viciedo, Happ, Wil Myers, and the #10 pick for Hanley, Chris Heisey, and Todd Helton (throw-ins I would have to drop, but maybe of value to the other guy.)  Should I have taken the deal?  Was my counter too much?

 

Deal 2: h2h, stats are OBP/R/RBI/TB/SB and ERA/WHIP/K/3*W + 2*QS/3*SV + 2*H, ~130m salary cap, 24 teams, very deep rosters (40 man, 225 player total system).  I just joined an established league with several other new replacement teams, my minors roster is actually pretty stacked, but my majors roster is pretty sparse (have to fill a lot through free agency.)  

Another owner offered me: Chris Carter (Oak) and Starlin Castro, both with 300k rookie contracts extendable for four years, for Jeff Niemann (2.090m, 3 yrs), Rafael Furcal (5.15m, 2 yrs), and Shelby Miller (minors, no salary, but if/when he arrives would have same contract as Carter/Castro).  I should take this deal, right (create some more space to bid on FAs plus get young, cheap, controllable talent)?  Or am I missing something? (Furcal has a lot of value in this league because of the stat categories, at least if he's healthy, I suppose...)

All thoughts welcome, thanks.

in 1st deal-I prefer your counter….as Hanley is worth more than what he offered
in 2nd deal-I think I would do that deal as Furcal is injuiry prone with the back issues, although he could be running more this year with Lopes taking over the running game. also could lead to injury.
